I know there are a few people working on Marathon textures based on H. R. Giger's art and I hope the quality of their textures is better than these. In about an hour I shamelessly cut, pasted, and Kai'ed, a few of Giger's works into 29 ppats. You can use "texture-installer" and Kevin Bell's "marathon-shape-installer" to paste the ppats into the various texture groups within the Marathon shapes file. I haven't experimented much with placement (i.e. which textures work best where), but I would love to hear from anyone who comes up with a good arrangement. Also, please feel free to e-mail me any Giger textures you might come up with yourself. Thanks.
